Take-off
The design team has strived to produce a wing with optimum inflating abilities in all flyable conditions. Whether it be in light or high winds you
will enjoy its docile behavior while launching. However before the first flight, practice ground-handling to become familiar with your new glider.
It is possible to inflate in a front- or reversed-launch method.
Forward launch
To inflate the glider grab the upper ends of the "A" risers with your hands and progressively move foreward guiding the glider upward. Once the
wing is flying overhead, apply brakes as necessary, look up and perform a visual check before accelerating to take off.
Reverse launch
If the wind speed is sustained and permits it, we will advise you to use a reversed inflation method more adapted to conduct a better visual
check. Face the wing and grab the "A" risers. With a light pull and adapted rearward walking motion, inflate your wing. Once the glider is stable
overhead, turn around, look up once more to check that all is ok. before running down the slope and takeoff. Note: it is not necessary to use the
"A" risers to inflate the wing.
Caution !
Before take-off, ensure for the airspace to be clear in front, around and above you with weather conditions matching your flying
skill level..
